Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Pesachim 41b (via Torah Temimah / Rava)
אָמַר רָבָא: אֲכָלוֹ נָא וּמְבֻשָּׁל אֵינוֹ לוֹקֶה אֶלָּא אַחַת, לְפִי שֶׁאֵין לוֹקִין שְׁתַּיִם עַל לָאו שֶׁבִּכְלָלוֹת.

English: Rava said: One who ate it underdone and cooked is lashed only once, because one is not lashed twice for a single inclusive negative commandment.

Type of Learning

Halakhic consequence of a לאו שבכללות: na and bashel share one lav.

What Is Learned

Eating both underdone and cooked portions incurs only one set of lashes, since both fall under the single “do not eat of it.”
